There's no Escape

Lately this has been haunting me
Knowing too much sometimes comes at a high price
(Sometimes, sometimes)

Things around you begin o lose their meaning
There's so much nonsense and madness in this world
That you get lost, not knowing what to do
(Not knowing what to do)

It's quite frightening
When we should be evolving
We're only regressing
(Only regressing)

There's no escape!
Whether you like it or not
Everyone returns to the same place
There's no escape!
The lie that was told a thousand times
Was the truth you always liked to hear

We cling to the brief moment
Forgetting the real reason we're here
We may have been our parents' failings
But nobody comes into the world by chance
(Believe it or not, believe it or not)

(Oh, ah)
(Oh, ah)
There's no escape!

Distractions on one side, noise on the other (noise)
This seems to never end (never)
It all starts in childhood, where you are molded (molded)
Your parents are away, too busy with work (work)

They don't have time for you
They give you a cell phone
Perhaps the worst thing you can give a child
You stay quiet and silent, distracted by worldly things
They don't notice, they think you're always fine

In schools it's more of the same (that old cliché)
They don't teach you (what's necessary)
They reprogram your mind (your character)
If you think differently (just another crazy person)
If you're introverted (just another abnormal person)

I wanted to do something to change this
But I realized I'm just another victim
How can I help others
If I can't even help myself?

There's no escaping it!
Whether you like it or not
Everyone comes back to the same place
There's no escaping it!
The lie that was told a thousand times
Was the truth you always liked to hear

We cling to the brief moment
Forgetting the real reason we're here
We may have been our parents' failings
But nobody comes into the world by chance
(Believe it or not, believe it or not)

(Oh, ah)
(Oh, ah)
There's no escape!
There's no escape!
There's no escape!
